It has been very cloudy, dreary, and cold here. It feels like it has been a long winter, one of the most crucial steps in my beauty routine is constantly reapplying a lip balm all winter long. I HATE when my lips are chapped abd I’m also on the hunt to find the perfect one. Plus, the no makeup – makeup look is pretty in these days, so I feel like the lip balm market has exploded recently. I’ve branched out from my trusty Aquaphor to find pretty, glossy, and yummy smelling lip balms. So I thought I’d share my top 4 picks!

Fresh Sugar Lip Balm

This is an OG. This was THE higher end lip balm to get back in the day and for good reason. It’s VERY comfortable to wear and smells great. Once of the best parts it’s in comes in a bunch of pretty colors, I have the nude one but they have a whole shade range and they’re decently pigmented for a balm.

Summer Fridays Butter Balm

I got this as soon as it was released! This was right up my ally and Summer Fridays does such a good job with marketing. This is super glossy, I’d say the glossiest one of have, it’s gorgeous. You can honestly wear this as a lip gloss on top of other lipsticks. It’s a standard vanilla scent, really lovely but it’s pretty strong. If you’re sensitive to fragrance this may not be the one for you. But, overall a fantastic balm to have.

Glossier Balm Dotcom

One of the most talked about products from Glossier and for good reason. It’s very similar to Chapstick in consistency, it’s definitely not glossy at all (odd as it’s Glossier), but still a great hydrating balm. These also come in a variety of shades and scents plus they’re aesthetically super pleasing.

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask

I first picked this up the winter of 2018 when my lips were dying of dehydrating. This wasn’t as hyped up then as it is now, but I picked up the berry shade and fell in love. This is probably the first lip balm I bought that I was obsessed with. The idea of a sleeping mask for my lips sounded luxurious, plus the scents do not disappoint. I’ve had berry, vanilla, and the apple lime scent and they are all so good. I know they have a ton of scents now, you can basically collect them all. But other than the scents, it’s a phenomenal product, feels super nice and is shiny! It’s so beautiful if you just want something natural and glossy on your lips.

But yes! There you have it, my top picks for lip balms I adore.

Thanks for reading and let me know if you have any favorites I should try!
